Tuesday I wrote, “With the Russian invasion seeming imminent, we’ve seen stock suffer their worst week since mid-January (the worst month in a decade-plus) with the major indices within spitting distance of the January lows.

There is some advantage to being a news junkie, because as I also said history might not repeat but it sure does rhyme.

Thoughts about the global political ramifications of Mr. Putin’s actions aside…

This could be very good for the markets, short-term volatility aside. 

Why?

Well simply put, now the Fed has an excuse for easing into tightening at a slower rate.  

The fact is they will still need to tighten, however this situation between Ukraine and Russia is a perfect reason to back off of their plans.  

So maybe we only see 3 or 4 rate hikes of .25%, rather than 8+ between .25 and .5.

We can already see the expectations of slower rate hikes in the markets.  

The Nasdaq – which was down sharply earlier today has recovered and is up more than a full point as I write this.
